Interestingly, the X-Pro4 with the 40MP X-Trans V HR sensor is by far the most anticipated camera and has almost two and a half times the votes of the X-Pro4 with the 26MP X-Trans V HS stacked sensor.

I think it is probably a cost thing for most people too. $500 for the stacked sensor in a camera that doesn't need it really... UNLESS they got rid of the shutter mechanism and went that route. If they did not go that route, I certainly want the 40mp sensor more too. I do not think they will get rid of it yet, though it clearly seems to be the future.

Yes, if they keep the mechanical shutter then the 40MP sensor would definitely make sense. Let's hope they also add IBIS without making it too big.

Why're folks in such a hurry to get rid of the mechanical shutter? I only resort to ES when necessary, and tend to default to MS+ES.

I do not think we are in a hurry.  I actually like knowing I got my shot by the feel of my mechanical shutter.  That said, I do think we will see them phased out over the next few years, generally speaking.
